THE Waco Evening Day has been put
in new dress and enlarged to eight pages.
With the modesty that so characUerizes
a. R. McCOllum, the Day says of It's i'm
proVement: at has been the steady pur-
pose of the management to give Waco
the very best evening paper that it is posi-
bic to publish here; to keep the paper, in
regard to progress, tone and improve
ment, fully abreast with the town, and to
make it helpful to Waco, as well as sue
cessful and remunerative as q business
undertaking. The Day has never had
cause to complain of lack of business
patronage, and it is for the community to
say how valuable the paper has proved to
Waco. With the steady growth of the
city, the Day has constantly widening
field of operation, and thanks to very
favorable distributing facilities furnished
by the lines of railway that depart in so
many directions from Waco, the local
field is made larger" And the Day might
well add that it has no superior among
all the evening newspapers of Texas.

A SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.

The Farmers of Jones County Unable to
Pay Their TaEes-The Consequences.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
ANsON, TEX, March 21.-Our Tax Col
Iector gives notice to- day that his books
are closed and he will at once proceed to
make up his delinquent list and collect the
same by forced sale. The end of it will
be that our people will have to surrender
up their work stock and mich cows to pay
a SIP to Sl5 tax on q section of state school
land that they Go not own, many Of these
having been forfeited because the settler
was unable to make his annual interest
payment. Over 200 of these same
people, TO whom the state OF Texas says
you must pay your tax or l will sell your
COWS and horses, have made oath that
they are unable TO buy bread for their
families and the state is now feeding
them, still the Legislature refuses TO help
them or even give them a little time to
get the money.

blasted by brisk nOrther which blew up

CARDS the gsllows bird as kind of hero.
1t is rather discouraging for the Maine
reformers that the experience of E uro-
pean countries, in regard to capital pun
ishment, has not proven as encouraging
as could be desired. Switzerland, one OF
the most orderly communities on the
globe, tried the Imprisonment plan and
gave it a thorough test, too, out finally
abandoned it, as the logic OF the statis-
tics demonstrated beyond all doubt that
the percentage of murders increased
rather than diminished. Human nature
is pretty much the same, the world over,
and it will be rather surprising If Maine
has any happier experience than Switzer-
lands. 1t is worth trying, though, and
the other states, not willing to abolish
the death penalty yet, will be very glad
to have Name make the experiment for
the common good. They will go on hang
ing their murderers in the regulation
way that is when it IS possible to con-
Wet them), and if the Maine method
proves to possess value over the present
system it will then be time enough to dis
pense with Jack Ketch's services.

AS A timely lesson to those who vote it
might be well to cite the recent effect of
a negligence to exercise this privilege.
In the late elections for selectmen in va
rious towns of Vermont in many instances
the Offices were filed by men chosen in
secret assemblies. Tax payers and prop
erty owners there have now to submit to
the dictations of men who pay no tax and
have no interest in any kind of property.
One council has among its members two
day laborers and hostler. April is near
at hand, and it is the duty of every honest
citizen to work faithfully until that time
for the defeat of men whose interests are
not one with this city. Furthermore, it
is the duty of all not to leave to men who
make trade of it the gathering in of
voters, but each man should feel his
personal responsibility not only to vote,
but to see that the vote of others be not
perverted, and shield the unwary from
the wiles of the crafty politician.

a GENERATION has sprung upon the
stage of action since the events of the
war and the few years succeeding. Nat
urelly old animosities are dying out, ard
the tragedies of those fearful days seem
almost yelled in the mists of fiction. The
name of Mrs. Surratt now scarce excites
thought, yet with that name is linked
one of the saddest memories of those
troublous times. The death of Lincoln
demanded G victim, and this old woman
was borne shrieking TO the gallows, g
propitiatory sacrifice Benjamin Spandaur
was the convenient witness to aid in
manufacturing condemning evidence, and
his subsequent career shows that he was
not incapable of such infamy. He has
now, for the second time, been commit
ted for suborning witnesses, and it IS to
be hoped that although the wheels of
justice move slow, he will now have rem
dered TO him in full measure that which
he so aided in Withholding from this poor
old woman, and as in her case, may no
plea for mercy be heard.

Enquirer reporter. He exhibited the
apparatus with which the work is done.
1t is simple continuance. =
An ordinary chemical wssh-bottl lis
partly filed with blcarbonate of soda,
ana the bottle is attached to gsS-bag
by an ordinary rubber tube.1ls By
pouring sulphurlc acid into the bot
tie csrbonic scid gasgss generated,
which evspoIates into sndflls up the gas
bag. i bottle of sulphufsWater is Sc
cured, and the carbonic acid gas Is per-
mitted to evaporate into the bottle con-
tanning the sulphur, thus producing the
sulphurated hydrogen. This preparation
is then injected into tde bowels, and re-
lief to the patient is said to be almost in
Simultaneous. The physician claimed that
the hydro en- is absorbed by the blood
and passes into the lung tissues and de-
stroys the microbes. Half an hour after
the injection the offensive Odor of
the gas can be smelled on the
breath of the patient, being exhaled by the
lungs. In case there is no sulphur
water at hand, warm water is used
and passed through tube in which are
balls of cotton saturated with sulphuric
acid modified so as not to burn the
bowels. The only Gisagreeable effect Of
the operation is a slight expansion of the
abdomen, which soon disappears. 1t is
not only claimed for the new remedy that
it is remedial, but that it is absolutely
curative in its properties. few of our
leading physicians have
NOT ENTIRE FAITH szSs

only an experiment. The remarkable re-
suit of the Philadelphia physicians in the
treatment of the almshOuse consump-
tlves, is causing a sensation everywhere.

john Sherman spoke to large audience
in the opera house last night. His speech
was entirely non-partisan except, if it
could be considered an exception, he al
luded to the tariff, advocating protection
for the development of the latent re-
sources of the south. He confined him
self mainly to this topic, incidentally
felicitating the people of Birmingham
upon the possession of resources which
il evolved from the soil would produce a
future prosperity more brilliant than ever
pictured in the tales Of the Arabian
Knights. The following incident of Mr..
Sherman's stay here is most talked of:
The proprietor of the hotel where the
Senator first stopped refused to allow
delegation of cOlored men to be received
in the Senator's room. Senator Sherman
Immediately paid his bill and went to
another hotel. He left this morning for
